HRTV TRAVELS TO PIMLICO FOR COMPLETE PREAKNESS WEEK COVERAGE

Baltimore, MD, May 13 -- Resounding Kentucky Derby winner Orb continues his quest for Triple Crown glory as the focus of the racing world shifts to Pimlico for the 138th running of the $1 million Preakness Stakes, and HRTV (R), The Network for Horse Sports, will continue its on-site coverage of the Triple Crown, when it begins live broadcasts from Old Hilltop on Wednesday, May 15.

HRTV's talented announcing stable -- Scott Hazelton, Richard Migliore, Aaron Vercruysse, Jeff Siegel, Zoe Cadman and Carolyn Conley -- will all be on-site to combine for daily all-inclusive coverage, which includes a set near the Preakness Stakes barn. (In addition to her HRTV duties, Cadman is expected to ride in the special Lady Legends race on Friday.)

HRTV will once again broadcast the Preakness Stakes post position draw -- as part of its Fasig-Tipton Pursuit of the Crown, presented by Twinspires.com show -- on Wednesday at 6 p.m. ET. Pursuit of the Crown show will emanate from Pimlico through Saturday, and the informative half-hour show will provide up-to-date news and information on the latest Preakness happenings. (Complete Preakness coverage listings are included below.)

HRTV's Westrock Coffee First Call will continue its travels along the Triple Crown trail, with one-hour shows on both Friday, May 17 (Black-Eyed Susan Day) and Saturday, May 18 (Preakness Day), as well as Sunday, May 19 (11 a.m. ET all three days).

Additionally, HRTV's daily coverage from Baltimore will include horse racing coverage, timely interviews with the key connections of Preakness contenders, the latest workouts for Preakness entrants, as well as expert analysis from HRTV's hosts/analysts. The comprehensive coverage will prepare horse racing fans for the second jewel of the coveted Triple Crown, along with Friday's strong Black-Eyed Susan card.

The network's Preakness coverage will extend beyond its on-site presence, with its daily Race Day America show, as well as the weekly offerings, The Edge (Friday, 8 p.m. ET) and Against the Odds (Thursday, 8:30 p.m. ET) also contributing during the week.

HRTV’s Preakness post-race coverage will begin at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday live from the stakes barn area, immediately following the race.
